GPS while hunting ! What do you use and why?

Im a traditionalist hunter at heart, and a firm believer that modern gadgets have taken a lot of the hunt out of hunting, ive never owned a gps in 20 years of hunting but are contemplating purchasing a Bushnell Backtrack device. Basically it is a simple gps device that can mark 5 way-points and will point you in the direction of a stand or home, i defiantly see the benefit of one of these, more as secondary insurance to the traditional map and compass which through experience are completely reliable but not entirely dependable in conditions of fog, whiteout, darkness in giving precision directions in unfamiliar territory. Anyone here familiar with the accuracy and reliability of these devices?
Forgot to mention its only about $100


You can get the cheapest garmin GPS for the same price with alot more features....just saying.
 
iPhone 4S with all the hunting apps . You can drop a pin save contact point text your currant pin location to the rest of the group and within minutes see the hole group on the map .
Range finder , ballistics calculator , wind meter
Altimeter, thermometer , video . The days of GPS are gone

until it goes for a swim...
